[quote=Anonymous]My DD is almost 9 but I noticed pubic hair before she turned 7. She had testing done through a pediatric endocrinologist (bone scan and blood test) and they said she had premature adrenarchy, which is not the start of puberty. They said as long as I didn't notice any puberty signs such as breast bud development before 8, that no other interventions were needed. She developed breast buds around 8 1/2. She has always been 90-95th percentile height but she may stop growing early depending on when she starts her period. I got her the American girl book that talks about puberty and development, things like body odor, getting your period, etc. We talk about her body changes as I don't want her to be surprised if she gets her period around age 10.
